What changes when you convert PEF to SVG
- The SVG file wraps your picture at its original pixel size. It opens in vector and design tools, but the image is not traced into editable paths, so it does not become infinitely scalable.
- PEF has no transparency, so the picture looks the same; the extra transparency support in SVG simply stays unused.
- The RAW data is developed with standard settings into a normal image.
